Consensus is that Mike Pence won Last Night's Vice Presidential Debate

A studio town hall, when polled, agreed that Harris made faces, laughed inappropriately, and refused to answer questions, even when pressed, such as, "Do you plan to pack the Supreme Court if elected?"

With all hooting and tooting Biden and Harris do about how they would have been better leaders to bring us through the cover-19 crisis, they never seem to say exactly what they would have done different. The only solid facts are that Biden was against shutting down travel from China.

Most what Biden & Harris have to offer seems to be hot air.

@Heartlander And lies...and refusals to answer questions straight out.

To understand why the US experiences greater numbers of COVI-19 infections than other countries a good place to start is accepting that we are probably the most mobile and free society on earth. It's the same reason why AIDS hit the US so hard. Practically everyone over the age of 18 has their own automobile, we travel from town to town, commute great distances to and from work, we breathe on one another constantly.

@Heartlander I personally think containment should've/could've be done better, and not necessarily in the form of a lockdown (which for us in Italy was necessary because by the time we realized we were being hit, it was too late for anything else). The U.S. had a several weeks margin for setting up proper testing and instructing the general population, without making the question a matter of political debate.

In regards to flight bans, we had them implemented over here since late Jan (I think we were the only in Europe, paradoxically), but we all know how it ended. Pathogens don't stop at borders, there are multiple entry routes, like travelers from other countries with less strict policies, customs' officers themselves getting sick from the people they reject, airlines personnel, etc.
